Análise da situação em saúde dos pacientes expostos ao Césio 137 em Goiânia no ano de 1987: uma série temporal até fevereiro de 2020

Abstract

Abstract: Objective: This study aims to analyze the health of individuals exposed to Cesium 137, who are registered in the Sistema de InformaçãoaoRadioacidentado (SISRAD) of the Centro de AssistênciaaosRadioacidentados (CARA). Methods: This is a descriptive study, with cross-sectional analysis, carried out in 2020, which includes data recorded since 1987. The target audience of the research consisted of individuals exposed directly and indirectly to Cesium 137 in the city of Goiânia, and who are duly registered at the Center for Assistance to Radio Accidents. Socio-demographic aspects were taken into account, in order to build the profile of the patients. After this process, we proceeded to classify and distribute the patients, through criteria such as the form of contact and the exposure dose. The data collection was carried out based on the clinical monitoring performed by the medical and multidisciplinary team, duly registered in the Sistema de InformaçãoSobreosRadioacidentados (SISRAD-WEB) (Radio Accident Information System). Results and Conclusions: The data obtained from the research showed that in the younger groups no early cancers or malformations were identified in Groups NGI and NGII, but there are reports that conflict with the death certificates of groups GI and GII, which made it difficult to perform a stratified and detailed analysis. Psychiatric illnesses, caused by the accident, have the highest prevalence, followed by causes associated with hypertension and diabetes. We verified the importance of the Epidemiological Bulletin as a tool for planning, preparation and evaluation of risk groups.
